Lismore Castle Arts is delighted to announce the reopening of the Gardens and Gallery for 2024 from Friday 15 March with our ARTifice exhibition featuring work from pupils of Ard Scoil na Mara, Tramore, Blackwater Community School, Lismore, Meánscoil San Nioclás, An Rinn, and St. Declan's Community College, Kilmacthomas.

ARTifice is an innovative art project for secondary schools run by Lismore Castle Arts since 2010, supported by Waterford City and County Arts Office. Our learning team has worked closely with teachers and students to create a learning environment inspired by our exhibition programme. ARTifice 2024 presents an exploration of sculpture by 220 students from four schools, exhibited in the main gallery.

Ard Scoil na Mara, Tramore

Shapes of the Sea
A collaboration across Transition Year.
Based on the sea which is part of everyone's life in Tramore, this sculpture represents all the students' interests in surfing, swimming, year-round walking, collecting shells and attending festivals, all with the sea as a back-drop.

The Back Strand
Inspired by the rushes on the back strand of Tramore.

Our Ordinary / Extraordinary Lives
One side is marbled and represents the sea, the other side shows the variety of students' everyday lives and interests.
